I had a kia spectra and I would recommend buying the chiltens manual or haynes if they have it for your vehicle. It has good information on how to fix things like this and many other problems. also there are a lot of good forums out there that already have solutions for this problem, I have checked. Just type in your question in Google and you will find it. Not to bad of a task though, took me an hour or 2 and a 6 pack to get it doen.

First you should check the oil plug and filter to make sure the plug was tightend on tight and the oil filter to make sure that is fit tight. If either one of these is not tight it will make the car leak like crazy. If you had a crack oil pan the mechanic should have told you that when you had the oil changed.
